FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- KSS Fuels has completed a restructuring of its management organization brought about by the recent acquisition of MPSI. The newly structured management team led by Bob Stein, president and chief executive officer, has reallocated group-wide resources to support the revised strategy and expanded offerings.

Key changes to the management team include the following:
Ray Corcoran will take on the role of senior vice president of global professional services, to oversee the implementation of the company's products and services, as well as to ensure that customers are deriving maximum ongoing value, post-implementation. He will also oversee the development function of the company in his new role.
David McCaffrey, senior vice president of research, will be responsible for the direction and delivery of the scientific technologies underpinning the company's products and services.
Ian Thompson and Bryan Porto will lead the sales teams as senior vice president of sales for the United States, Europe and Rest of World, respectively. Each will be responsible for delivering on the commercial strategy and the day-to-day management of the sales teams.
